South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

yes, you need 3/4" shackles that have 7/8" pin (standard) from the Man

 

I realize that you have much more weight on your truck than I do, but have you calculated your MPG with the % error of the larger tire?

I’m in the high 17s with 285/75r16

 

Ive thought about it, its like a 3% correction factor. so 14=14.42

 

Stupid question. Our tanks are what 20 gal? Light comes on at what point? Basically, what do I divide my 305 mile trip by to find my MPG?

 

Unless I have been doing it wrong 285/75 is about 7% over factory so the diameter error of the 255/85 should be close

 

My corrected average mpg on my last trip north was 11.1mpg.

 

So the 3/4 shackle has a larger 7/8 pin....

And the 7/8 shackle would also have a larger pin?

21.1 gallons. light comes on somewhere around 17 or so. take miles traveled (have to reset trip A or B at fillup), divide by gallons you put in at next fillup to get your accurate mpg.

 

Ha! I thought thats what the "Lax" meant in your avatar name.
I played in high school out in CA. A couple others here are/were involved in LAX too.

Best of luck in your interview!

Appx 2.5 inch lift, (11.5" clearance under the front skid),oem wheels with 1.25" spidertrac spacers. 265/75r16 bfg ko2, mid- molestation...



Never mind the mud, my hose has been frozen...

 

yup, 7/8" would have 1" pin. Eddy puts in 1" holes, but by the time you paint, or PC, 1" wont fit.

 

Yeah! Started a lacrosse thread a couple weeks back, had one or two guys comment in it.

I like the look of those 265/75....Definitely a more aggressive look from my 265/70.

 

What he said. 20 gallons of fuel at the pump divided by odometer reading of say 310 miles driven = 310/20= 15.5mpg I get good mpg's for my pig

 

Ugh as if I wasn’t ready undecided enough.

 

those 305's were beast

 

That’d be fantastic! Hugely appreciated if you could find em.

 

Update:

Two of the 3 have decided that having a job is important and will also get time off w/o pay but one has decided that he needs to go in another direction by saying he is going to sue. So he has been put on permanent leave w/o pay and matters have been turned over to the Company Attorney.....

We all have been told that current policy in still intact and if this happens again the policy will be revisited with results that we wont like guaranteed!

I am not sure what he thinks he is going to gain by this action of stupidity but has clearly earned the King Douche award.

I bet we see more bullshit from these 4 within the next year to fuck it up for everyone.

 

Like those 275s on the 2.5”.....
What kind of lift setup is that? Annnnnd did you have to add UCAs or a CMC to fit?

 

This is 265/75r16 Toyo ATs with 3” in front and 1.5” AAL in the back.

Edit: LR UCAs but no CMC

Had to let mine thaw out so I could at least rinse the under side off.

 

Looks great. How did you go abou getting the 3” in front? And Would you be nose high without the added weight in the back? Wanna keep it level/slightly raked without any extra weight.

 

Basically what I’m lookin at for mine. Awesome. Any rub with the 275s?
